Hello from Anthony UK. Could I please obtain some advice on John Tann - List 2 Safe
Hi,
Firstly, thank you all in advance for any advice you may be able to give me. I am a complete novice but I have purchased a John Tann – List 2 Safe. Although I know nothing about safes, I am a very experienced steel fabrication engineer which may be a decent start?
The safe is open (Please see attached photographs) but the keys are lost. I have to remove the locking mechanism and take it to my local locksmith.
Before I go doing things I know nothing about and causing damage, could anyone help me in the procedure for removing the locking mechanism? It appears that it ‘may’ be a simple case of removing the bolts from the inside of the door and then removing the mechanism but having never done this, I would rather have some expert advice beforehand.
In addition, I will need to have keys cut by my locksmith, but does anyone know of where or if, it is possible to obtain as close as possible, replica blanks?
I am not at all interested in the value of the safe, I bought it because as soon as I saw it, I fell in love with it. Having said that, I also don’t want to depreciate its prestige and wondered, if I restore it to its former glory, would that be hugely detrimental to it? It would be a real shame to do something detrimental?
I would like to know what particular type of paint was used, it looks to me as a regular enamel finish but not sure?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and once again, many thanks in advance for any help available.
Kindest regards.
Anthony.
